I guess both you and I have met the word impossible in our lives. This word has the ability to force even kings to give up. Sometimes giving up is smart. It's smart qutting "dead end roads" in our lives. It could be a project, work, business relations, and even relationship with other people. Quitting is not smart if you are struggling on your way too accomplish a great goal. Often it's smart; not to start out getting involved in something before you have considered if you are willing too go all the way.
Impossible is a great word if you make a few ajustments:
Impossible = I'm possible
Find your dream, and go for it!
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM " He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
Some years ago I used to spend a week alone up in the mountains. I usually went up to our cabin in mid may, a time of the year when the snow is melting and life is awakening. I'm not going to tell you much about this beautiful time in my life, but I'm going too tell you this:
After a couple of days without seeing or talking too anyone all my senses were used too the absence of noise. Every sound was familiar too me. Birds outside my window, mice in the grass, sheep up in the hill, and the sound of an old tree scraping against the wall. Before I fell asleep I heard a sound I had not recognized before. I was wide awake and sharp, but could not figure out what it was, and that of course, was frightening. Sevral minutes later I found out that the sound was self made; my finger was scraping the matress.

It's very often beeing said: It must be possible to keep more than one thought in your mind at the time.
YES and NO.
In the media it's not. I guess you have not heard much from Israel, Palestine or about the Swine flue the last week. Focus: Iran. Neda is killed. Her parents are crying. The social media world is re tweeting her picture and youtube videos. We turn our avatar pictures green. We move in one direction because everybody else do. We claim to be uniqe, we are, but we are not. Yes, 25.000 children are dying every day, do we care? Yes we do, and then we'll have a great cup of coffee with a friend. Our sun glasses are great looking. How ar
What was the Rockefeller brothers fund doing in Tehran before the #Iranelection. Where is Osama? What's up in Afghanistan. Have the US Marine been able to stop the pirates at sea? You know, the stuff we have ordered from China has to arrive soon in our stores. Are we using our bikes? How is the rain forrest doing? What about CO2?
"The existence" is complex.
We are moving around on a planet in a universe not knowing how big it is. We do believe we have control, but every night we lay our heads down on a pillow – giving it all up. What is actually the real problem, the problem beneath the problem we wanted to solve?I know this: People are engaged. People do raise their voices.This, I dont know: What are we actually looking for?
14 years ago, my cousin, came home with a new pair of skies. Labeled too them, this was written: Do not use if you are not a competent skier. Do not use on anything else than snow.
A friend of mine bought an american car. On the mirror, this was written: This is not reality.
If you buy software, you'll have to shut your eyes, hook on the: I have read it all button, and move on.
We say: Iran has no freedom. You can not make a statement without 'paying for it'.I say: Who are we?, the ones living in the 'west' believing we live in freedom?I lived in the US for one year. One night I sat down longside a road in Sudbury, Ma with a friend from India. It was 200 meters too the nearest house. We did not make any noise. We were talking about life. All of a sudden a police car came up too us asking; why are you here? We said we were talking about life. You are not allowed to do that. Please move on, if not, you'll be sitting in this car and then driven down too the station.We moved on. I do not forget it. I was a looser, a coward and a person well fitted for 'the system'.Freedom?
It's important that all "free nations and people" are lending ears and report back and forth too Iran right now. When journalist have to leave a country it's time to wake up. Use your voice and your appearance in the social media. The more you do it – the better it is for struggling people in Iran.
I have just finished a sail regatta in Norway. The team I'm on came in as the 11th boat of 12 participating boats. This is of course terrible if you would like to win, and are capable of winning.
I'm not going to spend any time telling you about crew, practise, equipment and so on. But I'm going to tell you this: If you're sailing 'identical' boats with the same boat speed, are among the top 4 but the leading boat is far ahead of you; you can settle for second place. If you wan't to win you'll have to make a strategy, stick too it and be willing to loose it all. We did just that. We made our strategy, settled for nothing less than beeing number one, and were willing to loose it all. We lost, but we won our own respect for not following others by finding our own 'way'.
I'm not sure if you can use it, but I thought you wanted to know!
But we're born again under: @whybcause. They told me that I was following way too many, 1991, and that's illegal'. From now on I'll just follow Jesus. I guess Sofus does not mind!
Tip: Twitter! I'm probably not the nicest guy in the world, but ok. Please chase the 'b' not people like: @paullemberg, @arthurtaubo and last week @Jason_Pollock (he's back on track with a new movie).
It's been said that Einstein said: Give me a problem,
and I'll solve it within an hour.
The big question is then, how?
His answer was like this: I'll spend 55 minutes finding the problem, and then 5 minutes solving it.
Very often it seems as if we know the problem but not the solution. But behind, or beneeth the problem there is 'always' another problem. This might be for some help for all of us, people who care, who are struggling with problems all the time!
My father is 68. Christian and Frank are 77 years young. When my father came home late last night, they had moved his lawn. That's something to talk about! A great inspiration for people who care!
